Senior ICT Officer Operational Cyber Team Lead Band 6
We are seeking an experienced Senior ICT Officer to lead an operational cyber team responsible for protecting digital services, infrastructure and information assets. This is a hands-on leadership role for a cyber security professional who can combine technical expertise with effective team coordination, incident management and operational delivery. You will help maintain a strong security posture across a complex technology environment, ensuring that threats are identified, investigated and addressed promptly and appropriately.
Key responsibilities include leading the day-to-day activities of the operational cyber team; coordinating the monitoring, detection, investigation and response to security incidents; reviewing alerts, vulnerabilities, threat intelligence and security events; and ensuring incidents are accurately recorded, escalated and resolved within agreed service levels. You will provide technical guidance during cyber investigations, contribute to containment and recovery activities, and support the development of effective playbooks, procedures and response plans. The role will also involve vulnerability management, security assurance, risk assessment, audit support and the delivery of recommendations that improve resilience and reduce exposure to cyber threats.
You will build effective working relationships with ICT colleagues, senior stakeholders, suppliers and relevant external partners, communicating complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You will contribute to security reporting, performance metrics, continuous improvement initiatives and the development of operational standards and policies. Applicants should have substantial experience in cyber security operations, incident response, threat monitoring or a related ICT discipline, together with experience of leading or mentoring technical staff. A strong understanding of security principles, network and infrastructure technologies, identity and access management, vulnerability assessment and relevant legislation or recognised cyber security frameworks is required. You should be analytical, organised and calm under pressure, with the judgement to prioritise competing risks and the communication skills needed to influence and support others. Relevant professional qualifications or demonstrable equivalent experience are desirable.
